Light hoppy aroma, orange color with a solid white head. Pretty robust taste for a lager, somewhat dominated by the hops, with some caramel and toasted grain notes I could detect. A little high in carbination for my taste. One beer you know will be good everytime.

Oct 10, 2008 Great amber color, off white head. Smelled a bit of caramel. Great flavor with a solid finish. Great balance, great lager.

Oct 10, 2008 Pours clear amberish copper, with a medium off white head that lasts a while. Aroma is toast and caramel malts lager yeast, floral and citrus hops. Flavor offers a pretty decent malt complexity up front, barley cereal, followed by caramel, fresh made pasta, sourdough crust, and a little straw. Hops run the gamut floral then citrus and pine in the middle then bitter toward the end. Finish is bitter hops and some lingering bready malts. A very good lager that really could use a little more hops to be perfect but has a great balance and flavor profile-especially for an American Lager-to make it a really good beer that appeals to alot of people.

Oct 10, 2008 This is a great beer that is always a good choice. I love the aroma and taste that is produced from the ample amount of hops that are used. It would have to be my most favorite lager.

does not count  Oct 8, 2008 This is my standby at returants. I think that as far as market lagers go this should be the great American lager

Oct 7, 2008 Definitely a favorite of mine out of the typical beers you can get just about anywhere. Small head, nice floral aroma balanced with a touch of malt, light amber in appearance. Well balanced hop flavor, but a touch too watery, not as full bodied as it should be. I wouldn’t turn one down though, it’s a solid beer in my book.
